The elections in Pennsylvania, Now Jorsoy, ' Nobrasku, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, "Wisconsin and Kansas, rosultod in favor of tho Republicans by increased majorities. In Mississippi and Maryland the Democrats wero successful. Virginia is also Democratic, though moro Republicans havo boon clootcd to tho Legislature than usual. Tho groat contost in Virginia was over ber public debt. Tho McCullough plan was to rcduco tho interest to four por cont. Tho ro-adjusters, headed by Qon.

Tbero wero throo tickets in tho field-Ropub* Hean, Democratic and tho Butleriles. Tho Butlor party increased their voto from last yoar. Tho Republicans wero successful, not by a majority, but by a plurality. It was in Now York, however, whoro tho greatest interest was felt. Tho bolt of Tammany by Kelly took nearly 100,000 votes from Robini son, tho Democratic nominco for Governor. In all olso, tho bolt gavo bira strength. Tho whole independent and conservativo element voted for him. Some of tho Kelly orowd ? voted for Cornoll, tho Republican machine ^c?ndVoV?A?a^.JLLo was_?Jooted by a plurality of | 35,000. Tho latest indications are that Potter, the Dcmooratio candidato for Lieuten ant Oovernor, and Seymour, tho Democratic candidato for Canal Commissioner, aro eleotod. County Expenses. Wo publish in this issue tho annual roport of tho County Commissioners touching tho expenses of the county for the yoar just past. It loots up a fearful exponso, but to eliminate any item in ordor to reduce expenses would bo a difficult matter to any one. Somo ex pensive bridges have been built, and whilo ve aro satisfied wo havo too many bridges, wo aro equally satisfied tho act of outting off J could not bo located. Tho pooplo want good roads and bridges, and in past indebtedness tho cost of bridges is $750 for last year and $465 for this yoar. Tho cost of trial justices and constables foot up tho round sum of $735, whilo tho cost of tho court and stationery foots up $1,536. Wo cannot complain, for tho pay of tho County Commission ers is not largo for this year, and wo aro unablo to seo whoro tho reduction of ex? penses aro to bo mado. Whilo this is true, with a special tax, wo aro in debt about two thousand dollars, which could bo paid if tho railroad tax could be realized. This should bo dono, but our roads are so mixed up in 1 itigation that it seems they are to havo an exomption for all time. If othor legislation is needed, our members should pass it, so that in realizing this tax, our county would bo froo from dobt, a thing which has not hap pened for years. It is sad to bo involved in dobt, without tho prospect for roliof. A cash fund would get our county straight and would go farther to rcduco expenses than any other ono thing, in securing tho prompt pay? mont of County claims. Wc havo tho pros pect next year of nn expensive Court, by reason of a murdor trial, with a company of | witnesses and the board of prisoners. Those accounts aro published under tho law for tho information of tho people, and should bo closely scanned that any saving which can bo mado to tho county moy bo suggested and carried out.

Death of Miss Laura Nevill. Wo regrot to chronicle tho (loath, from con? sumption, of Miss Laura Nevill, ob last Friday morning, tho 7th instant. Miss Novill was the second daughtor of our follow ottiton, Wm. O'. Nevill, and was admired for hor many oxoellont and ennobling qualities. Shu Wa? young, tulon ted, lovely and nmiablo, the prido and joy of bor fond parents. She has boen called away jU8t as sbo was budding Into womanhood, and her doath will bo tho moro koooly folt on that account. Her puro lifo and ohnrnoter will bo worthy of imitation by all hor school-mates and acquaintances. After appropriate and touching religious sorviooB in tho Baptist Church on Saturday morning by tho pastor of tho church, tho body of Miss Novill was deposited in mother oarth from which it carno, to sloop until tho resurrection morn. Our deepest sympathies aro with tho bereaved family and thoir I friends. Death of Samuel Loving g o od. Tho old hoads aro passing away abd in tho doath of Col. Snmuol Lovinggood, wltlch ooourred on Tuosday morning, tho 11th instant, another link which connects us with tho past history of our oounty haft boen bro ken. Wo can now almost count on our fingers tho fow men of prominence who live to conncot us with tho old regime. Wo had known Col. Lovinggood sinco our curliest recollection, remembering him in our boyhood ns a sucsoBsful minor in Cbeohce. Ho wns born in Elbert County, Georgia, and romovod to South Carolina years ago and settled in Chocheo, whoro bo married tho daughter of James Lay, a loading citi/.on of that section. I Ho soon after lost his wife, leaving one daughter, on whom ho bestowed a liberal education, giving hor overy ndvftntago money could obtain. Ho wns bold and fearless, advising tho young, and speaking his mind frcoly but kindly. Ho started in lifo poor, but by a courso of strict honesty, economy and porsovoranco, ho had, before tho war, accumulated a large property, much of which his sound judgment enabled bim to carry through tho war. For soveral years bo has resided in Walhalla with his daughtor and becu engaged in tho banking business, hav ing been tho first and last President of tho Walhalla Bank, and after its dissolution oonlinuing with W. C. Ervin a privato bank. Through a long lifo of over seventy years success nltondcd all his undertakings. After tho war ho was goncrous in settling by com promising with his creditors, taking fifty couts on tho dollar of what was duo him, and giving his creditors timo to mako monoy and pay without sacrificing thoir property, whon he might havo pressed thoir proporty to Balo and bought it for a trino. Strictly eobor and tomperate in all things, ho was highly ro? spoctcd in this community nnd will bo greatly missed. Col. Lovinggood represented old Piokens District iu the Legislature ono or two terms, but bo had no political aspirations and sought no preferment in that lino. His remains will bo interred at Chcobco on Wednesday, whero they will rest by bis wife, until tho last trump shall nwako the dead to liio. (CORRESPONDENCE OF TUE KEOWEE COURIER.] LETTER FROM CHARLESTON. .-cos CHARLESTON, S. C., November 7,1879. To-morrow the registration of voters of this city begins, and wo aro all agog with politics. Tho candidates arc tho samo ns those an nounced in tho carly part of tho Bummer, thc Radicals having put out no candidato of thoir own. Salo and Oayor, who run as Indepcnd' onts, seem to havo tho qualifications ncccs* sary to mako them nccoptabloto tho Radicals, and it is understood that they will divido the Radical vote. Salo practices such unaccountable folly that many of his own party support him only because they do not Uko tho other candidates, and thero is littlo doubt that beforo election day ho will bo virtually out of tho fight, and tho roal contest will bo between Courtenay and (layer. Indeed, somo think this is tho case now. Gayer is exactly tho samo sort of Inde pendent ns was Hon. Jas. B. Campboll in tho State election of last yonr, and yet he calls himself a Hampton Democrat, although Hampton condemns this sort of thing in thc strongest terms. Courtenay is tho nominee of tho Democratic party, and bas always said that bc would bo governed by the party. Tho voto polled in his favor at tho Domouratic Primarios hold somo weeks ago, was very handsome, and was not only a testimonial of tho determination of good men to frown down Indopcndontism, but a strong ground for having confidonco in his election. In addi? tion to tho whito voto, his organization amongst tho negroes will probably secure a largo colored vote. Business is in full blast, nnd a great deal of cotton is being handled. I notice that a groat many largo irou steamships aro now hoing used in shipping cotton from this port to Europe. Ooo went out tho other day with 5,000 halos in her cargo. Prices on this markot aro good, and it scorns now as if tho consumption of tho world having caught up with tho production of tho stnplo, they will hold up well for tho present crop at least. I seo tho idoa of a Calhoun monument, to bo placed somo whoro on tho lino of tho Air Lino Railroad, has boon agitated rocently in tho up-oountry. If may not bo forgotten by somo of your roaders that beforo tho war a Calhoun Monument Association was organ? izod, whioh collootod about sixty thousand dollars for a monument. Tho fund has been romnrkubly presorved, ubout forty thousand dollars now remaining, nnd the Association aro pushing forward plans fur tho onrly ac complishment of thoir objects. As tho Stato will thus havo n monument worthy of Calhoun, it is hardly in timo to talk about another, though, if our pooplo eould afford it, we would Uko to sec monuments to our grout statesmon all ovor tho Stato. Thors is, however, an object whioh may woll ooinmcnd tho solioitudo of our whole pooplo, for its nooda aro pressing. I rofor to tho "Confodorato Homo" of this city, and perhaps a fow foots in regard to it will not bo nmiss. The "Homo" was founded soon after tho war, and its chief aim is to educate tho daughtors of Confederate soldiers, whoso povorty proven?s thom from othorwiso obtain ing oducalion. During tho Inst nino yonrs tbcro has hoon au average uttondnnco of sixty rosidont pupils from all parts of tho State. Tho pupils live in tho Homo during tho oohool year, and both thoir conreo of studies and thoir housohold trnintog aro dosiguod to enable thom to support themselves as tooohors and governesses, as ?roll no to fit thom for domostio life. Thero is nothing denomina* tionnl or sooially exclusivo about it. Somo of tho scholars pay what thoy ono, but n Inrgo portion pny nothing. Tho oconomio mnnogomont is romnrknblo. Although fur nishing sixty young ludios with tuition, bonrd, lodging, light?, fuol nnd washing, for nine nnd n half months in tho yenr, tho annual expenses aro only about six to sovon thousand dollnrs. This shows at onco that no mo noy is wu 8 tod. Tho rccont failures boro havo placed tho Homo in a very critical financial condition. It lins not only lost heavily of its own monoy, but those who havo boon its liberal supportor? aro not now nblo to extond thoir hands. Tho Homo is opon tinssent m as usunl, but tho small cash amount which tho Hoard hn\o on hand is nlmost oxponded, and thoy cannot 600 where they will get monoy to sustain tho Institution through tho session. Tho up? country can not do bettor than to come to tho rosouo at this juncture, nnd it cannot fail to take interest in tho Homo, for nil over tho Stato its boncfioiurics aro scattered. It isa groat work, nnd surely wo can hardly escapo a blush for our people, if thc Home is not sustained. R. E. H. Fair Play Locals. There has not boon as much damngo dono to tho corn crop by tho recent freshet, as was at first supposed; though it bus been conside rably injured. Tho loss in cotton will bo comparatively light. There aro hardly enough pumpkins left for seed purposos. Fair Play can now boast of a cash cotton market. Cul. ll. E. Mason is buying cotton for a house in Richmond, Va. He pays tho highest market prices for cotton. Ho ls offering to-day (tho 27th) 10J and will pay always as much as they aro paying cither nt Seneca City or Anderson. This is tho wny it stands in Oconco: Lovinggood & Ervin nt Walhalla buy for a bouso in Philu~ dopbin; I think M r. John C. Cary at Seneca City, and Mr. A. Zimmerman nt "Westminster, for Philadelphia h onsen, i.nd Col. R. E. Mason nt Fair Pb y fur a Richmond house, nnd Charleston, our chief commercial city, is loft out entirely. I would liko to know if B)IO expects to keep up nt this rate. Sim should havo representatives all through tho up country buying ootton for her houses. Messrs. W. II. Lindsay and W. II. O'llry nnt caught out of eight races live loses reu ccntly. They have exco lieut hounds nnd propose to run them ngainst uuy in tho county. If thero uro any persons desiring to run ngainst them they will bo accommodated. Our worthy Congressman, lion. D. Wyatt Aiken, is a wido awake man and makes a good representativo. Ho thinks that thc United States is far ahead of thc rest of the world for inventive genius, and ho is right, too. In his address before thc Ninety-six Literary Club recently, ho bas the following to say on American genius: "But why con tinuo to instance evidences of our mechanical progr?s*? Thoy ni e around and about us continually, nnd show themselves in ovcry instrument wc usc As in tho mechanics, so in nil thc arts and sciences, American genius is pre-eminent and unrivalled, lt is as sue? cosful in discovering hitherto unknown planets away in tho regions of tho fixed stars, as it is in manufacturing spurious coin and substituting it for genuino monoy. Whether it bo in astronomy or alohomy, moral science or rascality, tho American expert isa master mind." "'Rabi for America nnd Pair Piny! Thoy aro always nhcndl" I do nut hear quito ns much about mil? roads and wheelbarrow linos ns I did n short time since; but still thc endeavors in lichnlf of tho Pair Play nnd Westminster Railroad havo not ceased by nny means, and subscript tions arc gradually coining in. Col. lt. E. Mason and perhaps Mr. 1). H. Glenn will go to Atlanta this wook in tho interest of thc rond. Tho pcoplo of Westminster should wnko up and go to work, as tho road would bo moro beneficial to thom than any others. Frost has put a stop to tho growth of cition and it will not bo long boforo thc crop will bc picked out, with tho exception of a fow late bolls. I reported some timo ?ince that Mr. N. Cobb, living at Col. W. W. Holland's gin, near herc, attempted suicide by taking laud anum, and that failing to produco tho desired ond, his making UPO of a rope. Ho denies tho charge ns to the laudanum, saying that ho only desired to take a nap, but bo has not explained his performances on thc slack ropo yet. Politics aro vory quiet. They arc hardly ever mentioned, but still tho pcoplo will volo tho Domocratio ticket as a unit in 1880. Tho littlo differoncos about tho fence law will all bo quieted by that time. I havo heard nothing lately from tho Knox-Parkor difficulty, though nomo timo Inst wook Hill Parkor went ovor intoOoorgia and bad a wnrrant issuod against Mr. Knox. Fair Play is still on tho mend. In a fow days we will have n watch repairer hero to keep our watches and clocks all right. Mr. Samuel Mason is tho person nt tho bend of this enterprise. Mr. lt. A. Patterson, formerly of Walhalla, is running n shoo shop boro. Ho is over head nnd cars in work, nnd ho is n good shoo mn kor. Mr. W. H. Lindsay has been nesistinghini. Wo nocdod just such a man as Mr. Patterson among us, and it is to bo boped that tho com munity will continuo to supply him with work. Col. It. E. Mason was informed in Atlanta that thero would bo no difficulty ?n obtnining rolling stock and iron for tho Fair Piny and Westminster Railroad. All, ^hon, that is necessary for our pcoplo to do will bo to grado tho rond and put down tho tion. Thoy can, and, I think, will do it, and that, too, at no distant day. Tho farmors aro busily engaged sowing wheat nnd picking out what littlo cotton romnins. Thoy hnvo nbout finished hauling up their corn. Although this lins boen a vory bad year for farming, some of our fnrmors havo mado good orops and scorn hopeful. Whilo eu a visit recently to Mr. John Hendrix, who lives below boro, nour tho Anderson lino, my atten tion was coiled to bis orop of oom, winch is very good indood. Tho cars aro largo and woll filled. Ho claims that ho has tho best socd oom anywhere norn*. Special attontion has boon paid to tho selection of corn for seed, 8eleoting onoh year tho top oars and th oso woll filled and per leal v. healthy. My attontion was oallcd to tinco stulks on which woro twolvo full grown oars. This oom was grown, not on bottom land, but on a rather high ridge It would bo a good thing if all of our farmers would pay more attontion to selecting and improving their seed, not only of oom, but every thing olso. Mr. P. N. Lindsay is our champion sweet potato grower. Iliu crop is very good and ho showed mo tho largest ono I havo evor seen. Mr. John A. Johnson, of Duo Wost, Abbe ville County, will teach at South Union this year. His school oponed Monday, the 3d instant. Mr. Johnson comos among us well recommended and it is to bo hoped that ho will Bccuro a good patronage from tho com munity in which he has cast his lot. Wo extend to him a hearty wolcomo nod our best wishes. Dr. J. L. McCurry thinks that there is 'No placo Uko homo." Ho has ornamented his flower yard with a flowor pit and is repairing his IIOUBO generally. Sovcral of tho "young bloods" around hero aro having buggies put up. This speaks well for thom, you know, with tho fair POX. Sovoral coots havo boen caught nour boro. They must havo been blown in this direction by a storm, ns they aro sea fowls. C. A Card to tho Public. WE8T.MINBTBK. S. C., November 10, 1879. Editors Kcowec Courier: In your issuoof] last week, under the head of Oakway Locals and signed O. C., appears an article which, whore its author is not known, docs injustico to ?B and to our town. Tbcreforo wo ask space in your columns to reply, and wc say (but thc statements therein contained which refer to usnsofficersoftbctown.arc, inouropin ion, unwarranted, false and malicious. Above all others this would-be distinguished fu?o? lionary is ho who should never charge any ono with being unduly officious sr dere lict to duty. It has not occurred to us when any violation bas been made known to tho Intendant or any officer without proper cogi nizanco of tho onmo being taken, or when any good citizen or honornblo man has been maltreated by a mar shal with any view of profit to himself. Ho says obsorvcr saw on ono occasion, about lower end of street, negroes drunk and trying to fight. Notwithstanding this Oak way author is an officer of State, enjoined with tho duty of seeing to tho enforcement of the law and order, and ought at lcnBt to have known his duty in tho premises; yet in tho face of bis oath of ellice and of his solemn duty to bis county, ho passes it by nnd seeks in ti is baso and cowardly way to exhibit us lo tho world as champions of drunkenness-evil spirits, as it were, brooding over ibo place, only to uppi'uSS tho Israel of the land. The must eminent canso of drunkenness and dis-i satisfaction, to us known, in our community, in our opinion, is traceable to this Trial Jus? tico and his associations. J. II. LIGON. WM. J.
